I believe it had a stylus.
I have used a stylus on a Palm PDA and on a Wacom pad. How did the MS tablet compare?

I have a modern tablet PC (from HP) with a swivel screen that folds down on the keyboard. The handwriting recognition does work very well, even though I can hardly read my own handwriting. Nowadays I mostly type, anway. And Windows 7 on a tablet with a Wacom pen works fine for me. The newer version has both touch and pen, so you also get pinch and zoom. The main reason I prefer my Android/WebOS tablet for casual use are the battery life (it is a core i7) and weight of my PC, as well as the fact that it does get quite warm. I don't believe it will be too long before they can actually fit a real PC into tablet form that offers the best of both worlds (with detachable external keyboard and monitor). Not one of those sloth like ones from Fujitsu and others.
